IntoUniversity

IntoUniversity is a UK-based education charity that provides academic support, mentoring, and enrichment opportunities to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, aiming to improve access to higher education. Founded in 2002, the organisation operates centres across the UK, offering programmes that combine after-school academic sessions, university visits, and careers workshops. IntoUniversity works closely with schools, local authorities, and university partners to deliver long-term, personalised support from primary school through to university application. It focuses on developing students' academic attainment, confidence, and aspiration, and has a strong track record of helping participants secure university places—many as first-generation applicants. The charity is widely recognised for its impact on social mobility and remains one of the UK’s most prominent organisations addressing educational inequality.
